GhiathArodaki was blocked for edit warring in Syria-related articles. He appears to be continuing to edit war while logged out. The contributions have the same writing style:. In he essentially admits to being GhiathArodaki. The same IP is removing deletion tags from GhiathArodaki's uploads on Commons: see Commons:Special:Contributions/178.61.35.103. Curiously, he's already posted an unblock request to his talk page, even though the IP account is not blocked. Psychonaut (talk) 16:22, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

The IP account is autoblocked (and has had an unblock request declined). I wonder how the IP managed to overcome that? --Stfg (talk) 16:37, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

 * It is clear that the user is evading their block with the IP address, so I have blocked it with an expiration close to the account's block. (Non-CU block) ​—DoRD (talk)​ 16:53, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

both editors are stubborn in forcing their point of view and they didn't care for block,and both tend to take a pro-Assad stance in their edits,not editing in good faith,I recommend an spi investigation,and also,both have Daki in their names,increasing suspicision,please investigate and check if Daki is a sock puppet of giatharrodaki.Alhanuty (talk) 04:37, 1 December 2013 (UTC) Alhanuty (talk) 04:37, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

I request an spi,to confirm that Daki122 is a sockpuppet.Alhanuty (talk) 18:14, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

I agree, kind of looks obvious. Sopher99 (talk) 13:54, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Why do you say that? To both of you (Alhanuty) do you any specific diffs from both accounts which show that they ae the same person. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 05:10, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

They are stubborn in reverting edits,they edit in the same article of the Syrian conflict,more suspicious that Daki appeared after giatharodaki account was blocked,and this wasn't giatharodaki first sock,giath edited from an ip,to avert a blocked that was already imposed on him.Alhanuty (talk) 05:44, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

And both have familiar names.Alhanuty (talk) 05:45, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

I request the closing of the case,it looks like this is really another person.Alhanuty (talk) 04:38, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Closing per filer's request to withdraw the case and per lack of evidence to indicate a connection between the two accounts. Mark Arsten (talk) 07:29, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

this editor behavior resembles the behavior of GhiathArodaki,they edit-war and use disrespectful language and used to edit in the same article of the flag of syria,the most important evidence is both editor are vivid supporters of the SSNP,https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:GhiathArodaki&oldid=546519250 For GhiathArodaki and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Flag_of_Syria&diff=next&oldid=675960247 For Partisanen123 Alhanuty (talk) 16:52, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' I am very familiar with Giath,its literally the same behavior.Alhanuty (talk) 17:22, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Far too early to make a determination at this point, IMHO. There's too little evidence to go on. —Psychonaut (talk) 16:54, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
 * they are the same,they share the same methods and same ideology,i recommend an SPI.Alhanuty (talk) 16:57, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
 * is it a coincidence that both edit war and begin editing at the same article.Alhanuty (talk) 16:59, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
 * With only two edits? Yes, it very well may be a coincidence.  —Psychonaut (talk) 17:07, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
 * i recommend an SPI to make sure,if they are related or not,isn't very strange that both are supporters of SSNP.Alhanuty (talk) 17:10, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
 * It's not particularly strange that an SSNP supporter would be editing the Flag of Syria page, and GhiathArodaki was far from the only Syrian nationalist on Wikipedia. —Psychonaut (talk) 17:17, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I am familiar with GhiathArodaki primarily on Commons. The style of speaking is definitely similar, but there's not enough for me to say with certainty it is GhiathArodaki. If an SPI is not endorsed at this point I do suggest this new user be watched very closely.  Fry1989 eh? 18:01, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

for that reason,i recommend an SPI,also additional evidence is that Giath has been active lately.Alhanuty (talk) 18:21, 23 August 2015 (UTC)there is additional evidence for Giath and his sock connection,Partisnen123 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Flag_of_Syria&diff=next&oldid=675958947,GiathArodaki https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Flag_of_Syria&diff=next&oldid=546190922,both share the bias towards the government,bad english,and their support for the syrian socialist national party,these are enough evidences to run an SPI.Alhanuty (talk) 20:05, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

One of the admins Admin Courcelles has conducted a checkuser SPI and it confirmed that Partisanen123 and GiathArodaki are related and has blocked Partisanen123,proving that GiathArodaki was the sockmaster.Alhanuty (talk) 00:02, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
 * this is proof that Giath was active lately,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:GhiathArodaki#Important_Note.Alhanuty (talk) 20:08, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
